The heat treating company that we use for our machine shop also treats the springs for magpul's pmags
Next time I call them to pick up a batch I will run it by them, as I am sure they have had this discussion with magpul for RandD reasons
I have heard so many different opinions on the length of time a mag should be stored loaded before allowing the spring to relax. I have a regimen as we keep several loaded at all times for all our guns.
I just want to hear what some of you think about this. I may change the way I do it.
Storing it compressed doesn't affect it. Cycling is what affects it and most springs are good for tens of thousands of cycles.
does temperature have an adverse effect on the spring life? I keep some stashed in an unheated garage in the bug out bag,didnt know if I should rotate them or not***
